BACKGROUND

1. Field

The present disclosure relates to a thin film and an organic light-emitting device including the same.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) are self-emission devices that have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, and short response times. In addition, OLEDs display excellent luminescence, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics, and produce full-color images.

In an example, an organic light-emitting device includes an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer that is disposed between the anode and the cathode, wherein the organic layer includes an emission layer. A hole transport region may be disposed between the anode and the emission layer, and an electron transport region may be disposed between the emission layer and the cathode. Holes provided from the anode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the cathode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. Carriers, such as holes and electrons, recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons are changed from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.

Various types of organic light emitting devices are known. However, there still remains a need in OLEDs having low driving voltage, high efficiency, high brightness, and long lifespan.

Accordingly, the embodiments are merely described below, by referring to the figures, to explain aspects. Expressions such as “at least one of,” when preceding a list of elements, modify the entire list of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list.

The present disclosure will now be described more fully with reference to exemplary embodiments. The disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. Advantages, features, and how to achieve them of the present inventive concept will become apparent by reference to the embodiment that will be described later in detail, together with the accompanying drawings. This inventive concept may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be limited to the exemplary embodiments.

Hereinafter, embodiments are described in detail by referring to the attached drawings, and in the drawings, like reference numerals denote like elements, and a redundant explanation thereof will not be provided herein.

It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers, and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or section from another element, component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer, or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the present embodiments.

As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

The term “or” means “and/or.” It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising” or “includes” and/or “including” used herein specify the presence of stated features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components.

It will be understood that when a layer, region, or component is referred to as being “on” or “onto” another layer, region, or component, it may be directly or indirectly formed on the other layer, region, or component. That is, for example, intervening layers, regions, or components may be present.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this general inventive concept belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross section illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, a region illustrated or described as flat may, typically, have rough and/or nonlinear features. Moreover, sharp angles that are illustrated may be rounded. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region and are not intended to limit the scope of the present claims.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a thin film includes a combination (which can be a mixture) of a donor compound and an acceptor compound. The donor compound and the acceptor compound in the combination form an exciplex.

The donor compound may be an electron-donor compound having better electron-donating properties than its electron-withdrawing properties, and the acceptor compound may be an electron-acceptor compound having better electron-withdrawing properties than its electron-donating properties. In this regard, the donor compound may be a hole transport compound, and the acceptor compound may be an electron transport compound.

The exciplex may be an excited state complex that is formed between the donor compound and the acceptor compound.

A maximum emission wavelength (λ_(max) (Ex)) in a photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of the exciplex in the combination may be about 390 nanometers (nm) or greater to about 490 nm or less, for example, about 390 nm or greater to about 450 nm or less, or about 390 nm or greater and less than about 440 nm. In various embodiments, the maximum emission wavelength λ_(max) (Ex) in the PL spectrum of the exciplex in the combination may be about 390 nm or greater to about 427 nm or less, or about 412 nm or greater to about 427 nm or less. In this regard, the combination may emit blue light. For example, the combination may emit blue light having a CIE x-coordinate in a range of about 0.182 to about 0.307 and a CIE y-coordinate in a range of about 0.092 to about 0.523.

A decay time (T_(decay) (Ex)) of delayed fluorescence in a time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) spectrum of the exciplex in the combination may be about 100 nanoseconds (ns) or greater, for example, about 100 ns or greater to about 10 milliseconds (ms). In addition, a percentage of a delayed fluorescent component to the overall light-emitting components in the TRPL spectrum of the exciplex may be about 10% or greater. In this regard, the exciplex may exhibit up-conversion in an efficient manner from a triplet state (T₁) to a singlet state (S₁), thereby emitting delayed fluorescence with high efficiency. Thus, when the combination is used, an electronic device, such as an organic light-emitting device, may be implemented with high efficiency.

The PL spectrum and the TRPL spectrum of the exciplex may each be a spectrum measured at room temperature with respect to a film that is formed by co-deposition of the donor compound and the acceptor compound on a substrate (for example, a quartz substrate), and the measurement may be understood by referring to Examples described below.

The decay time T_(decay) (Ex) may be evaluated by using known methods in the art based on the TRPL spectrum of the exciplex. For example, the decay time T_(decay) (Ex) may be evaluated by using a method described in Evaluation Example 1, but embodiments are not limited thereto.

The ratio of a delayed fluorescence portion (referred to as a DF portion) may be evaluated by using methods in the art based on the TRPL spectrum of the exciplex. For example, the ratio of the DF portion may be evaluated by using a method described in Evaluation Example 1, but embodiments are not limited thereto.

The exciplex in the combination may have PL stability of about 59% or greater, for example, about 60% or greater, for example, about 70% or greater. In various embodiments, the exciplex in the combination may have PL stability of about 80% or greater, for example, about 90% or greater. While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is understood that when the exciplex in the combination has PL stability within these ranges, an organic light-emitting device including the combination may have long lifespan.

The PL stability of the exciplex may be evaluated according to Equation 10: PL stability (%)=(I ₂ /I ₁)×100  Equation 10

wherein, in Equation 10,

I₁ is an intensity (arbitrary units, a.u.) of a light at the maximum emission wavelength (λ_(max) (Ex)) in a PL spectrum of Film 1, which is obtained immediately after formation of a film by co-deposition of the donor compound and the acceptor compound on a substrate, measured at room temperature in an inert atmosphere in which external air is excluded, and

I₂ is an intensity (arbitrary units, a.u.) of a light at the maximum emission wavelength (λ_(max) (Ex)) in a PL spectrum of Film 2, which is obtained after exposure of the Film 1 to pumping laser light used in the evaluation of I₁ in an inert atmosphere in which external air is excluded for 3 hours, measured at room temperature in an inert atmosphere in which external air is excluded.

The evaluation of PL stability according to an embodiment may be understood by referring to Examples and Evaluation Examples below.

In various embodiments, an absolute value of a highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level for the donor compound (|HOMO (D)|) may be about 5.78 electron volts (eV) or less, for example, about 4.84 eV or greater to about 5.78 eV or less. In addition, an absolute value of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level for the acceptor compound (|LUMO (A)|) may be about 1.76 eV or greater, for example, about 1.76 eV or greater to about 2.43 eV or less. In this regard, the formation of exciplex in the combination may be increased, thereby an electronic device, for example, an organic light-emitting device, including the combination may have improved efficiency and lifespan.

The HOMO energy level for the donor compound HOMO (D) may be calculated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), and the LUMO energy level for the acceptor compound LUMO (A) may be calculated based on an UV absorption spectrum measured at room temperature. The calculations may be understood by referring to Examples below.

In various embodiments, an absolute value of a difference between the HOMO energy level for the acceptor compound and the HOMO energy level for the donor compound (|HOMO (A)−HOMO (D)|) may be 0 about 0.037 eV or greater to about 1.1 eV or less, for example, about 0.04 eV or greater to about 0.9 eV or less. In addition, an absolute value of a difference between a LUMO energy level for the acceptor compound and a LUMO energy level for the donor compound (|LUMO (A)−LUMO (D)|) may be about 0.001 eV or greater to about 1.1 eV or less, for example, about 0.01 eV or greater to about 0.9 eV or less. In this regard, the donor compound may facilitate movement of holes while the acceptor compound may facilitate movement of electrons, thereby forming an exciplex at an interface between the donor compound and the acceptor compound efficiently. Thus, an electronic device, for example, an organic light-emitting device, including the combination may have high efficiency and long lifespan.

The donor compound may include at least one selected from a carbazole-containing ring, a dibenzofuran-containing ring, a dibenzothiophene-containing ring, an indenocarbazole-containing ring, an indolocarbazole-containing ring, a benzofurocarbazole-containing ring, a benzothienocarbazole-containing ring, an acridine-containing ring, a dihydroacridine-containing ring, and a tri-indolobenzene-containing ring, and the acceptor compound may include at least one selected from a carbazole-containing ring, a dibenzofuran-containing ring, a dibenzothiophene-containing ring, an indenocarbazole-containing ring, an indolocarbazole-containing ring, a benzofurocarbazole-containing ring, a benzothienocarbazole-containing ring, a pyridine-containing ring, a pyrimidine-containing ring, and a triazine-containing ring.

In various embodiments, in Formula 81, M may be Ir and the sum of n81 and n82 may be 3; or

M may be Pt and the sum of n81 and n82 may be 2.

In various embodiments, the organometallic compound represented by Formula 81 may be an electrically neutral compound, rather than a salt consisting of a pair of a cation and an anion.

In various embodiments, the phosphorescent dopant in the film may include at least one selected from Compounds PD1 to PD79 and FIr₆, but embodiments are not limited thereto:

An amount of the phosphorescent dopant in the thin film may be generally in a range of about 0.01 to about 20 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the combination, but embodiments are not limited thereto. While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is understood that when the amount of the phosphorescent dopant is within this range, light emission without a quenching phenomenon may be implemented.

The thin film may be applied to an organic film of an electronic device, for example, an organic light-emitting device. Thus, according to another aspect of the present disclosure, an organic light-emitting device includes:

a first electrode,

a second electrode, and

an organic layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode,

wherein the organic layer includes the thin film.

In various embodiments, the thin film applied to the organic layer may be an emission layer. Here, the combination included in the emission layer may serve as a host. An amount of the phosphorescent dopant in the emission layer may be smaller than that of the combination in the emission layer.

In the thin film, the donor compound and the acceptor compound described in the expression “the combination of the donor compound and the acceptor compound” may form an exciplex, wherein a maximum emission wavelength of the exciplex and a decay time of delayed fluorescence are satisfied within the ranges described in the present specification. That is, the combination may have a relatively high triplet state T₁ energy level and a relatively low singlet state S₁ energy level at the same time. In this regard, a difference between the triplet state T₁ energy level singlet state S₁ energy level of the exciplex in the combination and the triplet state T₁ energy level of the phosphorescent dopant in the combination may become relatively small, and thus the energy may be efficiently transferred to the phosphorescent dopant in the combination of the film (for example, the combination having a role of a host). Accordingly, an electronic device, for example, an organic light-emitting device, including the thin film may have low driving voltage, high efficiency, and long lifespan at the same time.

FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-section of an organic light-emitting device 10 according to an embodiment. Hereinafter, the structure of the organic light-emitting device 10 according to an embodiment and a method of manufacturing the organic light-emitting device 10, according to an embodiment, will be described in connection with FIG. 1. The organic light-emitting device 10 includes a first electrode 11, an organic layer 15, and a second electrode 19 that are sequentially stacked in the stated order.

A substrate may be additionally disposed under the first electrode 11 or above the second electrode 19. For use as the substrate, any substrate that is used in general organic light-emitting devices may be used, and the substrate may be a glass substrate or a transparent plastic substrate, each having excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness, ease of handling, and water-resistance.

The first electrode 11 may be formed by, for example, depositing or sputtering a material for forming the first electrode 11 on the substrate. The first electrode 11 may be an anode. The material for forming the first electrode 11 may be selected from materials with a high work function to facilitate hole injection.

The material for forming the first electrode 11 may include indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin oxide (SnO₂), or zinc oxide (ZnO). In various embodiments, metals, such as magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al—Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg—In), or magnesium-silver (Mg—Ag) may be used as the material for forming the first electrode 11.

The first electrode 11 may have a single-layered structure, or a multi-layered structure including two or more layers. For example, the first electrode 11 may have a three-layered structure of ITO/Ag/ITO, but the structure of the first electrode 11 is not limited thereto.

The organic layer 15 is disposed on the first electrode 11.

The organic layer 15 may include a hole transport region, an emission layer, and an electron transport region.

The hole transport region may be disposed between the first electrode 11 and the emission layer.

The hole transport region may include at least one selected from a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, and a buffer layer.

When the hole transport region includes a hole injection layer, the hole injection layer may be formed on the first electrode 11 by using one or more suitable methods, such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, or Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition.

When the hole injection layer is formed by vacuum deposition, the deposition conditions may vary according to a compound that is a material used to form the hole injection layer, and a structure and thermal characteristics of the hole injection layer to be formed. For example, the deposition conditions may be selected from a deposition temperature range of about 100 to about 500° C., a vacuum degree range of about 10⁻⁸ to about 10⁻³ torr, and a deposition rate range of about 0.01 to about 100 Angstroms per second (Å/sec). However, the deposition conditions are not limited thereto.

When the hole injection layer is formed by spin coating, the coating conditions may vary according to a compound used as a material to form the hole injection layer, and a structure and thermal characteristics of the hole injection layer to be formed. For example, the coating conditions may be selected from a coating rate range of about 2,000 to about 5,000 revolutions per minute (rpm), and a temperature at which a heat treatment is performed to remove a solvent after coating may be selected from a range of about 80° C. to 200° C. However, the spin coating conditions are not limited thereto.

Subsequently, a PL spectrum for each of Films D1, A1, D1:A1, A2, D1:A2, A3, D1:A3, BmPyPb, TCTA, TCTA:BmPyPb, CBP, B3PYMPM, CBP:B3PYMPM, D11, and D11:A2 was evaluated at room temperature by using an absolute PL quantum yield measurement system, Quantaurus-QY (manufactured by Hamamatus), and the respective results are shown in FIGS. 2A to 2F.

It was determined that a wavelength of the PL spectrum for Film D1:A1 in FIG. 2A was shifted toward longer wavelengths, compared to the PL spectra for Films D1 and A1, a wavelength of the PL spectrum for Film D1:A2 in FIG. 2B was shifted toward longer wavelengths, compared to the PL spectra for Films D1 and A2, a wavelength of the PL spectrum for Film D1:A3 in FIG. 2C was shifted toward longer wavelengths, compared to the PL spectra for Films D1 and A, and a wavelength of the PL spectrum for Film D11:A2 in FIG. 2F was shifted toward longer wavelengths, compared to the PL spectra for Films D11 and A2. In this regard, it was determined that each combination of compounds used to prepare Films D1:A1, D1:A2, D1:A3, and D11:A2 led to formation of an exciplex.

In addition, it was determined that Film D1:A1 in FIG. 2A had a maximum emission wavelength λ_(max) of about 423 nm, Film D1:A2 in FIG. 2B had a maximum emission wavelength λ_(max) of about 427 nm, Film D1:A3 in FIG. 2C had a maximum emission wavelength λ_(max) of about 430 nm, and Film D11:A2 in FIG. 2F had a maximum emission wavelength λ_(max) of about 430 nm. In this regard, it was determined that the exciplex formed by Compounds D1 and A1, the exciplex formed by Compounds D1 and A2, the exciplex formed by Compounds D1 and A3, and the exciplex formed by Compounds D11 and A2 each emitted blue light within a wavelength band (460±10 nm) available for energy transfer to all of blue illuminants for display.

In addition, it was determined that a wavelength of the PL spectrum for Film TCTA:BmPyPb in FIG. 2D was shifted toward longer wavelengths, compared to the PL spectra for Films TCTA and BmPyPb, and a wavelength of the PL spectrum for Film CBP:B3PYMPM in FIG. 2E was shifted toward longer wavelengths, compared to the PL spectra for Films CBP and B3PYMPM. In this regard, it was determined that each combination of compounds used to prepare Films TCTA:BmPyPb and CBP:B3PYMPM led to formation of an exciplex.

Subsequently, PL spectra for each of Films D1, A1, D1:A1, A2, D1:A2, A3, D1:A3, TCTA:BmPyPb, CBP:B3PYMPM, and D11:A2 were evaluated at room temperature by using a TRPL measurement system, FluoTime 300 (manufactured by PicoQuant), and a pumping laser, PLS340 (manufactured by PicoQuant, excitation wavelength=340 nm, spectral width=20 nm). Then, a wavelength of main peaks in the PL spectra was determined, and upon photon pulses (pulse width=500 picoseconds) applied to the films by PLS340, the number of photons emitted at a wavelength of main peaks for each of the films was repeatedly measured with time by time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC), thereby obtaining TRPL curves available for the sufficient fitting. Based on the results obtained therefrom, two or more exponential decay functions were set forth for the fitting, thereby obtaining a decay time T_(decay) (Ex) for each of Films D1:A1, D1:A2, D1:A3, TCTA:BmPyPb, CBP:B3PYMPM, and D11:A2. The functions used for the fitting are the same as described in Equation 1, and a decay time T_(decay) having the largest value among values for each of the exponential decay functions used for the fitting was taken as a decay time T_(decay) (Ex). The remaining decay time T_(decay) values were used to determine the lifetime of typical fluorescence to be decayed. Here, during the same measurement time as the measurement time for obtaining TRPL curves, the same measurement was repeated once more at the dark state (i.e., a state where a pumping signal incident on a predetermined film was blocked), thereby obtaining a baseline or a background signal curve available as a baseline for the fitting.

Subsequently, the exponential decay curve (=changes in intensity over time), which was to be determined as the decay time T_(decay) (Ex), was measured with respect to an integrated value of time-dependent intensity of the overall emission, and accordingly, a ratio of the integrated value over time was calculated, thereby evaluating the ratio of delayed fluorescent portion to the overall light-emitting portions: (t)=Σ_(i=1) ^(n) A _(i)exp(−t/T _(decay,i)

  Equation 1

In graphs of Films D1:A1, D1:A2, D1:A3, TCTA:BmPyPb, CBP:B3PYMPM, and D11:A2 shown in FIGS. 3A to 3F, the decay time T_(decay) (Ex) of delayed fluorescence and the ratio of a delayed fluorescence portion to the overall light-emitting portions are each summarized in Table 2:

Referring to Table 2, it was determined that:

i) the exciplex formed by Compounds D1 and A1,

ii) the exciplex formed by Compounds D1 and A2,

iii) the exciplex formed by Compounds D1 and A3, and

iv) the exciplex formed by Compounds 11 and A2 “simultaneously” had a T_(decay) (Ex) of about 100 ns or more and 10% or more of the ratio of a delayed fluorescence portion to the overall light-emitting portions.

Although the formation of exciplex was identified in Films TCTA:BmPyPb and CBP:B3PYMPM, the ratio of a delayed fluorescence portion to the overall light-emitting portions in these films was less than about 10%. That is, it was determined that the contribution of delayed fluorescence associated with the exciplex formed in these films to the overall fluorescence was relatively small.

Evaluation Example 2: Evaluation of HOMO and LUMO Energy Levels

According to methods described in Table 3, the HOMO and the LUMO energy levels of Compounds D1, A1, A2, and A3 were evaluated, and the results are shown in Table 4. In addition, a difference between the HOMO and the LUMO energy levels was calculated and shown in Table 5.

LUMO Each compound was diluted with CHCl₃ at a concentration energy of 1 × 10⁻⁵ molar (M), and a Shimadzu UV-350 level spectrometer was used to measure a UV absorption spectrum evaluation for each compound at room temperature, to thereby calculate the LUMO energy levels for each compound based on optical band gap (Eg) at edges of the absorption spectrum and the HOMO energy levels for each compound.

Referring to Tables 4 and 5, it was determined that Compounds D1, A1, A2, and A3 had appropriate electric characteristics for the formation of the exciplex that can emit delay fluorescence.

Evaluation Example 3: Evaluation of PL Stability

Immediately after the formation of Films D11:A2, TCTA:BmPyPb, CBP:B3PYMPM, and TCTA:3TPYMB, a He—Cd laser (manufactured by KIMMON-KOHA, excitation wavelength=325 nm) was used to evaluate a PL spectrum for each of the formed films at room temperature under an argon (Ar) atmosphere from which ambient air was blocked. Then, intensity I₁ (arbitrary units, a.u.) of light at a maximum emission wavelength in the PL spectrum was measured for each of the formed films, and the results are summarized in Table 6.

Subsequently, under an Ar atmosphere from which ambient air was blocked, each of Films D11:A2, TCTA:BmPyPb, CBP:B3PYMPM, and TCTA:3TPYMB was exposed to light for 3 hours, the light being emitted from a pumping laser, the He—Cd laser (manufactured by KIMMON-KOHA, excitation wavelength=325 nm), used in the evaluation of the intensity I₁. Then, the He—Cd laser (manufactured by KIMMON-KOHA, excitation wavelength=325 nm) was used to evaluate PL spectra for the films, which underwent the exposure, at room temperature. Then, intensity I₂ (a.u.) of light at a maximum emission wavelength in the PL spectrum was measured for each of the formed films, and the results are summarized in Table 6.

The PL spectra (denoted as As prepared) for Films D11:A2, TCTA:BmPyPb, CBP:B3PYMPM, and TCTA:3TPYMB measured immediately after the formation of each of the films and the PL spectra (denoted as 3-hr exposed) for the same films measured after 3 hour-irradiation to light emitted from the laser are separately shown in FIGS. 4A to 4D.

Based on the intensities I₁ and I₂ measured as described above, the equation (I₂/I₁)×100(%) was calculated to represent PL stability of each of the formed films. The results are shown in Table 6.

TABLE 6 (I₂/I₁) × 100 (%) Name of films I₁ (a.u.) I₂ (a.u.) (PL stability) Film D11:A2 0.045 0.039 87 Film TCTA:BmPyPb 0.067 0.039 58 Film CBP:B3PYMPM 0.078 0.044 56 Film TCTA:3TPYMB 0.028 0.008 29
